Treatment of cancer is becoming increasingly successful, particularly if conducted in specialist centres. For 20% of the UK population who live in rural areas, however, there may be difficulties accessing this care. The aim of the research in this thesis was to establish whether people in rural areas are disadvantaged in cancer care. Two studies were conducted. In the first, survival rates from six common cancers were analysed for 63 976 people with cancer diagnosed between 1991 and 1995 in Scotland. Living further from a cancer centre was associated with higher chance of early death (on the date of diagnosis) for stomach (adjusted odds ratio 3.92, 95% confidence intervals 2.17 to 7.08), breast (2.87, 1.74 to 4.74) and colorectal cancer...
